Thirty Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D Retrospective) by Harold Johnson
I'm a little late reading this. It was published in 2004 so now it's more like 38 years of adventure.
This was cool if a little confusing. I always thought that Richard Garfield owned Wizards since he was the creator of MTG. But obviously I was wrong since he was only mentioned once in the entire book. It was interesting to hear about the lawsuits that prevented Gygax from working on D&D stuff and that meant the company had to call things "Advanced" D&D or else they had to pay Arneson.
I show more didn't like how they had 2 different stories going across multiple pages. It was cool to kind of get to know some of the personalities who's names I've been seeing on products since I was a kid.
I really think it needed a "conclusion" type entry. The ending just kinda dropped off. show less
